(In what areas are children and adolescents similar or dis...)
In what areas are children and adolescents similar or dissimilar? And is the onset of early adolescence a transitional period for those characteristics that are different in childhood and adolescence? These key questions are addressed in this volume, the first comprehensive review of the literature on change and stability in the period between childhood and adolescence. The contributors explore the commonly held beliefs and theories regarding whether the profound biological changes that occur in puberty impact on or alter children's self-concepts, psychological functioning and interpersonal relationships.

The way identity influences the way adolescents make decisions and cope with stress is one of the topics explored in this thought-provoking volume. The contributors examine the processes of identity formation, social and behavioural outcomes and management, social contextual factors and issues of alternative conceptualizations and measurement. They also address subjects such as women's identity and Erikson's notions of inner space, a multidimensional approach to ethnic identity and the influence of cognitive identity styles on ways in which adolescents cope with stress.

(What role does biology play in adolescent social competen...)
What role does biology play in adolescent social competence? Can education or medical interventions enhance such competence? Can lack of social competence lead to juvenile delinquency or truancy? Answering these and other questions, contributors to this volume examine the factors that contribute to adolescent social competence, including social environmental constructs, family influences and the effects of sports.
